FROM WALL STREET TO WALTER REED
From Wall Street to Walter Reed, renowned Personal clothier and designer, not only clothes the super wealthy, but the seriously injured and needy.
On May 8th 2007 at the AFF Congressional Gala in Washington DC, Ted Fisher received national recognition for founding a charity program that will provide financial assistance to injured troops and their families and to the dependants of deceased soldiers. A component of the program will provide free dress clothing to injured members of the military who are in need. The purple 4 initiative/ Suits 4 Troops (S4T) program is now an official Armed Forces Foundation program. An impressive ninety six (96.4%) percent of all Armed forces Foundation donations go directly to military families through organizational programming.
This initiative calls on Wall Street, Corporate America and the private sector to donate to this worthy cause. Fisher is currently working on a website that will list, provide information and give recognition to companies from virtually all industries which have provided financial assistance to benefit injured troops and their families, i.e., WallStreetgivesback.com, Hedgefundsgiveback.com, ProSportsgivesback.com, commercial & private aviationgivesback.com, automotiveindustry,Medicalproducts, fortune500, DefenseContractors and politiciansgiveback.com.

Fisher has also been asked to take part of the Hiring Heroes Career Fair at Walter Reed on June 20th (dressing for success)
